| Synopsis: |
While most North Americans live in urban areas, the reality of North American life continues to be shaped by the experiences of those who live in rural areas. Many people consider country life to be idyllic, and it's true that growing up in a rural environment does have real benefits. Statistics from across North America, however, show that rural youth face many of the same difficulties that are associated with young people living in cities. What's more, rural youth fare worse than urban kids on several key indicators of positive development. (For example, rural youth are more likely than their urban counterparts to use drugs and alcohol.) This series of 13 books offers a colorful examination of both the pleasures and challenges for various groups of rural youth. Full-color photographs and engaging text bring to life topics such as country. |
